Two teas are remarkably effective against covid-19.
Eric Zuesse After extensive examination of findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals, I have concluded that, so far, the best protections against the virus that causes the covid-19 disease (SARS-CoV-2), are the green and black teas that are made from the camelia sinensis plant, both green and black teas from the latter plant. Both are, and […] read more

Battle Report From the Texas Republican Party Convention: Abolishing the Fed; Establishing the Third National Bank
When the Texas Republican Convention kicked off on June 15th, it was already foreordained that the meeting of the largest Republican Party in the country would be a battle between the Republican establishment and the citizens who constitute the party’s base—who demanded to be heard at this moment of national crisis. Nearly 5,100 delegates and alternates participated in the Convention. In the days prior to its official opening, about 200 delegates attended open meetings of the Party’s Platform and Legislative Priorities panels to fight to have their policy ideas added to the agenda. read more
"Grave Faults..."
"Only the following items should be considered to be grave faults: not respecting another's rights; allowing oneself to be paralyzed by fear; feeling guilty; believing that one does not deserve the good or ill that happens in one's life; being a coward. We will love our enemies, but not make alliances with them. They were placed in our path in order to test our sword, and we should, out of respect for them, struggle against them. We will choose our enemies." - Paulo Coelho read more

"The Quest to Beat High Gas Prices"
*"The Quest to Beat High Gas Prices"* by Lora Kelley “I SOLD MY GIRLFRIENDS CAR CAUSE GAS PRICES ARE HIGH,” reads the caption on the video Justice Alexander posted online this spring. In the clip, Alexander, a content creator in Los Angeles, sits atop a horse and declares that he will now travel on horseback. The video, which has been viewed nearly 10 million times so far on TikTok, struck a nerve. While Alexander later said that it was a stunt - an Instagram follower lent him the horse and his household still drives - the sight of him in stirrups, staring defiantly off into the di... read more

District attorneys could be a last defense against abortion bans
An anti-abortion activist holds up a sign that read “We Dissent” in front of the Supreme Court on June 25, 2022, in Washington, DC. | Alex Wong/Getty Images More than 80 elected prosecutors have already committed to not enforcing abortion bans. District attorneys in more than 10 states where abortion is now banned or likely will be soon have committed to not prosecute people for obtaining abortions, following the Supreme Court’s Friday decision overturning *Roe v. Wade*. In a joint statement Friday, more than 80 elected prosecutors argued that doing so would abuse their office... read more

A Transformational Art Project
This morning I made a brief appearance at a small but very special occasion. So I want to brag on my old school. The woman in the photo is Rachelle Surrena, an art teacher at my old high school. Earlier this school year, she had a bit of an inspiration-- create a community-based mural to become a major piece of public art in our community. That may not be a big deal for those of you who life in big cities where public art is all over the place, but here we have only a handful of such things. She secured grant money.

What an exciting day!
What an exciting day I had.. My purse was stolen at Wal-Mart near Port Clinton, so I had some interesting experiences, working with the staff, the sheriff's office, our bank, finding someone to help me to get ahold of Bob , lots of worry and anxiety. However. Good outcome. By 6 p.m. the policeman was on our porch with my purse. Don't ever try to steal anything at Wal-Mart. It was all on camera--the woman's face, her method, her credit card, the license plate on her car. They must have cameras everywhere. But. It was all with good intentions. The "thief" saw my purse and took it home ... read more

Neil Oliver Outlines Madness of New Push to Vaccinate Children 6 Months to 5 Years Old
In this week’s discussion monologue, Neil Oliver outlines a recent push by U.S. and U.K. authorities to vaccinate children under 5-years of age. Despite almost zero risk to their health from COVID-19 or any variant, in the U.S. the FDA has recently approved vaccinations for babies 6-months and older.

"A Wise Man Once Said..."
“A wise man once said you can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it. What he meant is nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you’re willing to lose. Too often, going after what feels good means letting go of what you know is right, and letting someone in means abandoning the walls you’ve spent a lifetime building. Of course, the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don’t see coming, when we don’t have time to come up with a strategy to pick a side or to measure the potential loss. When that happens, when th... read more

Pfizer CEO Says Annual COVID Vaccine Booster is Almost a Certainty

To arms against blackmail... and 'Replacement Theory'... and the suborned Court
You know I've beat a drum about blackmail many times, showing how this method of sabotage and control-over-elites has been a favorite of spies - especially Russian - since czarist times, and how utterly consistent it is with the behavior of an ever-more compromised Republican political caste. As if *any *other theory could even-rmotely account for what we have seen for two decades, and worsening every year?

Three targets hit
*What happened when Israel sent its refugees to Rwanda?* runs the headline of a story on the BBC News website by the BBC World Service's Daisy Walsh. It's quite a story - and even more of a BBC achievement - managing to bash Israel, push the 'racism' angle and slam the UK government's Rwanda plan, all at the same time. The BBC has scored a hat-trick! Ah, the term 'hat-trick' reminds me of that great British black footballer Gary Lineker - the Jesse Owens of British soccer - who scored one during the 1986 World Cup group game between England and Poland, sending us through to the... read more

One of the things with blogs like this is that we cannot but repeat ourselves. Unfortunately, this isn't like in TS Eliot's *Little Gidding* where “We shall not cease from exploration/And the end of all our exploring/Will be to arrive where we started/And know the place for the first time.” No, however much we explore the BBC, we know the place we arrive at all too well and it never feels like 'for the first time'. Or, to put it another way, we've been here before with the BBC far, far too many times and it's always the same. There's been another horrific terrorist attack in Nor... read more

Roe as the new Lochner
I want to pose a pedagogical question in light of *Dobbs*. Is there still any reason to teach the liberty of contact cases in an introductory constitutional law course? (I only get one semester for everything, so I must choose wisely.) The rationale for teaching these cases was clear until yesterday. They represented an example of an unenumerated constitutional right that emerged, was applied, and was then undone. Accordingly, looking at that doctrine was a useful counterpoint or contrast to the right of privacy. Now, though, you don't need to teach *Lochner *and *West Coast Hotel... read more

What do events in the Donbass have to do with Russian victory?
In the land of Western and Ukrainian media spaces, supported by corporate institutional power, there is often talk of how Russian successes don’t mean much. They say that Ukrainians are bleeding Russia of munitions and manpower while luring Russian forces into traps and such. They say that once NATO weapons and training are delivered to Ukraine, the tide will surely turn upon the weight of Western power and expertise. They also downplay the implications of the success of Russian forces in the Donbass, saying that it’s only a few small cities, while Russia can’t even take a single ... read more

Biden's goofy alternative energy spiel
Washington Times: President Biden met with offshore wind industry executives Thursday after snubbing oil executives summoned to Washington to come up with “concrete solutions” to combat skyrocketing gas prices. Mr. Biden, who has committed to fighting climate change by steering the U.S. away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy, is now battling skyrocketing prices at the pump which critics say is partly due to his policies.

Biden's big lie about 'Putin's gas price increase'
James A. Nollet: To hear it from President Brandon, the current high cost of gasoline is all Vladimir Putin’s fault. “Putin’s gas hike!” is a common Brandon theme. But it’s all nonsense. Putin is actually responsible for very little of the cost of gasoline. According to the U.S. Energy Energy Administration, the cost of gasoline was $2.096 a gallon on Election Day 2020. By Inauguration Day it had climbed to $2.334 a gallon. The date of the invasion of Ukraine was February 24; at that time the price had risen to $3.517 a gallon. Putin cannot be blamed for any price rises whi... read more

The Chris Hedges Report: Journalism And Argentina’s ‘Dirty War’
In the late 1970s and 1980s, Argentina’s civic-military dictatorship disappeared over 30,000 people, using death squads trained by the US as part of the now infamous Operation Condor. The victims were held in secret prisons, savagely tortured, and murdered. To this day, many families do not know the fate of their loved ones. In this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, former Buenos Aires Herald editor Robert Cox joins the show to recount his experiences reporting on the disappeared during Argentina’s “Dirty War.” Robert Cox is a British journalist who served as editor and publishe... read more

Lyd, Occupied Palestine – It is becoming increasingly difficult for Israel and the agencies that promote Zionism around the world to portray Zionism in rosy colors. This is primarily because there is a history of close to 100 years of Zionism; and the actions of the Zionist State, Israel, have a history of seven and a half decades of violence and racism. To add to that, in February, Amnesty International came out with a damning report demonstrating in no uncertain terms that Israel is engaged in the crime of apartheid and has been since the day it was established. The Amnesty repo... read more
